Chapter 14 - Rafayel's Hidden Power

After a short break, Rafayel resumed his magic training.

By this time, he had a general understanding of what his magic element were.

His magic element probably Water.

Everyone can use basic magic for daily life to some extent, but my ability to use water magic is clearly beyond the norm.

Plus, Tama also has Water affinity, so having someone nearby who can teach him about water magic right away is really helpful.

Tama also agreed that Rafayel possessed Water magic.

Just like her, he could sculpt ice figures and produce an almost endless stream of water from his palm.

However, after one particular training session, an unexpected event occurred.

While picking roses from the garden at his mother's request, Rafayel accidentally pricked his finger on a thorn.

Instinctively, he used magic to heal the wound.

Normally, minor injuries could be closed with basic healing magic, but in Rafayel's case, the wound disappeared without a trace—as if it had never been there.

To him, it was merely a small surprise.

But for Tama, who witnessed the event, immediately realized its significance and decided to report it to her employer.

Once again, due to Tama's report, an emergency family meeting was called.

The term "emergency" was enough to summon Thomas, who was in the middle of his training in the knight order, and their father, who was at work.

"I apologize for gathering everyone so suddenly. Master, Madam, I have something important to report regarding Young Master Rafayel."

"This is unusual. You don't normally call us together like this, Tama," their father remarked.

"Indeed," their mother agreed. "But if it concerns Raffy, I can understand."

Since Rafayel had started using magic at an exceptionally young age, their parents maintained a calm demeanor.

"When it comes to Raffy, you can call a meeting anytime! He's my top priority! No, actually, you don't even need a reason—just call for him whenever!"

"I feel the same. Raffy is the most important to me," their mother added.

"I also think Raffy is the most important," Thomas chimed in.

Everyone took turns expressing their affection for Rafayel.

As the atmosphere softened, Tama finally made her announcement.

"The reason I gathered you all here today is to inform you that Young Master Rafayel possesses not only Water magic but also Light magic. He is one of the rare individuals with two magic affinities."

"What!?" their father exclaimed. "Raffy, is this true!?"

"...It seems so," Rafayel admitted. "I didn't think much of it, but Tama said it was a big deal…"

"What exactly happened?" Iris asked curiously.

"Earlier, I was picking roses for Mother, but I pricked my finger on a thorn. I used magic to heal it, but instead of just closing the wound, it completely disappeared…" Rafayel explained.

Everyone looked stunned.

"You got hurt!? Are you alright!?" Thomas suddenly panicked. "Wait, no—if you healed it, then it's fine… but still—Raffy, you're amazing! You really are a genius!" He jumped up and pulled Rafayel into a tight embrace.
